Following the premiere of AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL, GOSSIP GIRL comes from "The O.C." producers Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage and based on the New York Times best-selling young-adult book series of the same name. The show features an ensemble cast of new and veteran actors, including Blake Lively ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants") and Leighton Meester ("Surface"), and focuses on the struggle for social supremacy among teens from both sides of the tracks in a posh Manhattan prep school.
To accommodate this new premiere schedule, AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL will now have a one-hour premiere on September 19 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET), instead of a two-hour premiere as previously announced.
